✨"The Israeli bombing of a displaced people's school comes within the framework of the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people in a clear manner," the office said.
On the other hand, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they attacked the school, but claimed it was harbouring Hamas militants.
